Qatar brokering deal to release 10-15 hostages for pause in fighting

Qatar is mediating negotiations between Israel and Hamas for the potential release of 10-15 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for a short ceasefire, a source briefed on the talks tells AFP.

“Negotiations mediated by the Qataris in coordination with the US are ongoing to secure the release of 10-15 hostages in exchange for a one- to two-day ceasefire,” the informed source says, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the talks’ sensitivity.
